Tutorial translations: switching to xml2po

Hi, is there anyone who objects using xml2po for the tutorial translations? See http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/DocumentationTranslation for the process. With xml2po, translators would get regular po files to translate, with all the positive effects (no manual looking for string changes; more dedicated tools than for Docbook; familiarity of amny translators with the format; translator credits for free (even though we don't pull them yet for the About box); strings from included images are in the same file; the Gnome people are using it; and probably some more). I am using xml2po for the German translation since pre-0.45, and it worked quite well so far. I have started automating the conversion process to HTML/SVG (to the then intermediate Docbook XML) in SVN. So if there are no valid objections overriding the plusses, I will soon start converting all translated Docbook XML files to the po format. Please submit any translated XML files that are not yet in SVN. I think now is a good time to tackle that process, considering that 0.46 is probably a while but not too far away, and there are quite some efforts going into tutorials recently (thanks Ryan :). Cheers Colin PS: I'm cmarqu on IRC.

Dear list, on Inkscape.org, some really revolutionary new features are introduced by bryce (sept 1). Alas, this statemaent lacks a German translation. For an educational Project, I did a coarse translation, cf. http://wiki.skolelinux.de/ProduktiveSoftware/Inkscape - paragraph "Neu in Version 0.46-cvs". Anyone ready to publish it within CMS? Kind regards Ralf

Well, you see --- I for my part prefer dealing with fuzzy status of messages instead of pure XML diffs, especially when you have mulitple source files, but that's just IMO :) What I'm more interested in right now is whether we split content into chapters, since we still will be able to use PO, as Colin says.
